Hi Maxim,

here’s what I did in the REPL:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
scheme@(guile-user)> ,m (ice-9 exceptions)
scheme@(ice-9 exceptions)> (define (my/guile-system-error-converter key args)
  (apply (case-lambda
          ((subr msg-args msg errno . rest)
           ;; XXX TODO we should return a more specific error
           ;; (usually an I/O error) as expected by R6RS programs.
           ;; Unfortunately this often requires the 'filename' (or
           ;; other?) which is not currently provided by the native
           ;; Guile exceptions.
		   (make-exception
			(make-external-error)
            (make-exception-with-origin subr)
            (apply make-exception-with-message msg)
            (make-exception-with-irritants msg-args)))
          (_ (guile-external-error-converter key args)))
         args))
scheme@(ice-9 exceptions)> (set! guile-exception-converters (acons 'system-error my/guile-system-error-converter guile-exception-converters))
scheme@(ice-9 exceptions)> ,m (guile-user)
scheme@(guile-user)> (guard (c ((message-condition? c)
		  (format #t "message: ~a~%" (condition-message c))))
		  (canonicalize-path "/doesntexist"))
message: No such file or directory
$11 = #t
scheme@(guile-user)> 
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
